BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

A sign that you could benefit from a mobility aid that a lot of people miss; Furniture walking. If you, as you walk through your home, find yourself unconsciously (or consciously) touching furniture, walls etc, this is a sign that you may need support to walk!

I keep saying: This country/dominant culture hates children. Absolutely hates them. Regards them as property far more than (vulnerable, in need of guidance and conscientious, respectful protection) full human beings
I know this is something I circle back to a lot, but it honestly feels, to me, like half the attacks on our trans siblings roots back to "children aren't people." The doctor said "boy," so I get to be the parent of a boy child! Not a girl child! How dare my child want things I don't want?!

Closing in on a quarter of our goal aint bad, but we still need a lot more support. We’re tired, too, but we aren’t done ensuring the Blade’s survival in 2026. Our quality reporting doesn’t happen automatically. So please consider the role of local leftist journalism in this time, & donate or share.
Like many in our city, the Blade has struggled in Helene's ongoing aftermath. We're a local journalism co-op of working class trans people. It has not been an easy year.
Amid exhaustion, illness, poverty and trauma we've still done important work. Please help us keep doing it.

Friendly reminder to remove the ?si= from the URLs you share from platforms.
I joke about "I'm not clicking that video you shared and messing up my algorithm," but that little URL query string is designed to convey "who shared this" and it helps form a link between you.

The two insidious things about the way our society deals with abuse are, first, that we almost always don’t, and, second, that when we do we center the abuser and what it all means for them.
Which is another way of saying this is a great essay about politics and our current predicament.

I know so many great people who are doing so much. If you are isolated from people who are trying their best, I can understand feeling like no one's doing anything, but really, you just need to find the people who are trying and try with them — or maybe encourage some new folks to try alongside you.
